My name is Erkin Ötleş & I’m a physician-engineer. This unique combination of roles allows me to bridge the gap between medicine and engineering, a perspective I bring to my work in AI for medicine.

I am currently an emergency medicine resident physician at the University of Wisconsin.  I previously was a Medical Scientist Training Program Fellow at the University of Michigan; I got a combined MD-PhD (doctorates in medicine & engineering). Before that, I worked as an engineer focused on solving healthcare data problems; I spent some time at Epic and also led a healthcare data science team. I am an expert in developing & implementing artificial intelligence tools in healthcare, such as predictive analytics for patient outcomes and machine learning algorithms for disease recognition.
